java.lang.StackOverflowError in startup appears to be while scanning class paths.

It seems like the StackOverFlowError rises during the scanning of classpath, or
so...
Do you have any special settings or have you changed your netbeans.conf file ?
If I can ask, what is the size of your RAM ?

Thanks in advance.

12MB RAM
I have not made changes to netbeans.conf but I can not find it to send to
you. I have searched in the default installation directory: C:/Documents and
Settings/.../.netbeans and all sub-directories.
=============================

Ok, I think we've found it, I know it's not such great "fix" but you have to
increase your RAM as you can find in Release notes for NB4.1 :
http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/41/relnotes.html#SystemRequirements
the minimum HW configuration for Windows is:
    * Processor: 500 MHz Intel Pentium III workstation or equivalent
    * Memory: 384 megabytes
    * Disk space: 125 megabytes of free disk space 

I'm sorry but we can do nothing on this issue.

Sorry the 5 in 512 didn't make it through somehow. I have 512MB RAM. 
30GB HD free, 1.5 GHz cpu.

Looks to me like a problem in Java support.

The first problem reported in log is non-existing ImpToolSettings class
referenced from JavaSettings. Did you imported settings from an older version?

The next errors come from MDR scanning. Passing for evaluation.
Comment 6 johnafriedman 2005-06-03 16:19:35 UTC
I did import older settings.
Updated to jdk1.5.0_03 from j2sdk1.4.2_04. Seems to have resolved the issue.
